![["The document addresses a case involving Mr. John H. Vickrey, a former United States Marshal, who was sued for unauthorized expenditures. The Bonding Company paid a portion of the amount owed, but the government still pursued a judgment against Vickrey. The disallowed expenses were mostly made by one of Vickrey's deputies, and Vickrey was not allowed to defend himself in court. Vickrey believes he was unjustly treated and hopes for relief from Congress."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_5_0000-Comptroller%20General,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_5_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Injustice in Accounting: The Case of John H.

This decision is part of a nationwide program of closing District Offices, not singling out Tulsa for special treatment. The inconvenience to business men in the Tulsa area was considered, but the decision was necessary due to lack of additional funds from Congress. The closure is meant to save money for essential needs and ensure efficient enforcement and pricing for reconverting industries."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_3_51_0000-Price%20Administration,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_3_51_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Closure of Tulsa District Office: A Necessary Step for OPA Operations")
